so many plot holes, so little time...

Rating: 6/10 (28 January 2007)

plot holes:1: the cod science about developing a virus that creates an extreme psychosis in the host, you cannot create a virus by showing violent images to an ape then 'farming' the blood. 2.Its doubtful despair would set in so quickly with the soldiers( 28 days) especially under the command of Major Henry West ( Christopher Eccelston) who is authoritative, and respected and enough by his men to stop them from raping the woman with a few words.Its more likely they would have set up an international communication radio, signalled for help, been given orders by the many British military generals serving in other country's and calmly waited for back up whilst broadcasting a help and advice signal for any survivors. It is further doubtful a virus passed on through the blood could have wiped out a government in 28 days, the infected are dangerous but they aren't organised and cant use weapons, but they can be killed or, one presumes rounded up and caged till a treatment can be found 8.The Cillian Murphy character is about 8 stone soaking wet and has just woken up from a coma, yet manages to kill four trained, armed soldiers who use army fighting techniques on him earlier showing they know how to do it!. It does have some plus points however, good effects, reasonable tension and good acting from stalwarts like Brendan Gleeson and Chris Eccleston.But for me the huge problems with the script meant i spent my time pointing out the plot holes rather than watching it.
